The house consists of two independent private residences which share a common base. This common area is meant as an entrance and also an area of community for the two groups or persons utilizing the residences. The residences themselves are independently private, due to the angle at which both volumes emerge from the base, but share a corporeal link to each other and a brilliant view to Langstini Lake.
